While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

"Ugh, I don't want to! If I eat this meat, I'll gain ten pounds." Zhao Mengjiao looked disgusted, her attention instantly diverted.

Zhao Qiying said, "If you only eat vegetables and not meat, how can you have any strength? We'll be at Leigu Mountain today. It's a place where all sorts of people mingle, so we have to be careful."

"Don't worry, I've mastered seventy percent of Father's 'Seven Star Sword Technique.' If anyone dares to cause trouble, they'll have to get past the sword in my hand first!" Zhao Mengjiao said confidently.

Zhao Qiying shook her head and stopped trying to persuade her.

She knew Zhao Mengjiao's personality well and didn't expect her to listen. The reason she reminded her was just to change the subject.

Zhao Mengjiao has a short memory, and as expected, she didn't bring it up again, which saved Zhao Qiying from embarrassment.

After the meal, the caravan continued their journey, beginning the final day of their trip.

059 Huang Yaoshi, the coachman, fights evil with evil.

"Qi Ying, are you alright?" Jiang Sishui helped Zhao Qi Ying sit down.

Zhao Qiying lowered the carriage curtain and finally breathed a long sigh of relief. She rolled her eyes at Jiang Sishui and said irritably, "My dad was watching the way I walked the whole time. Do you know how hard it was for me to pretend?"

Jiang Sishui smiled apologetically and said, "It's unavoidable the first time, but it won't happen again."

Zhao Qiying blushed and spat, "Pah! You're like a wild bull."

Jiang Sishui, shameless as ever, whispered in his ear, "If I don't act like a bull in the future, you might not be happy."

The warm air brushed against her ears, and hearing Jiang Sishui's ambiguous and embarrassing words, Zhao Qiying couldn't help but recall the scene from last night.

She immediately blushed with embarrassment, punched Jiang Sishui hard, and said, "You need to take your bedding out to air it sometime, otherwise it will get moldy."

"Okay~ I'll listen to my wife." Jiang Sishui understood, and her smile became even brighter.

Zhao Qiying felt a little overwhelmed by his burning gaze.

However, she was a graceful and generous swordswoman. After her initial shyness, she gradually calmed down and changed the subject under the pretext of exchanging sword techniques.

Jiang Sishui suddenly exclaimed softly, "Qi Ying, your swordsmanship is even more skillful than yesterday."

"Of course, because I broke through," Zhao Qiying explained happily.

Jiang Sishui suddenly realized.

Chapter 20 of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" contains this passage (page 253):

While Yin Tianzheng and Song Yuanqiao were fighting, Zhang Wuji, who was watching from the sidelines, saw many flaws in their moves and wondered why the two of them did not take advantage of the gaps to attack. Could it be that they were deliberately holding back?

But this is actually because Zhang Wuji possesses two great martial arts skills, "Nine Yang Divine Skill" and "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth", and his martial arts cultivation and power are incomparable to the other two.

For example—

Yin Tianzheng and Song Yuanqiao are like a wolf and a hound on the ground, respectively, while Zhang Wuji is like an eagle soaring in the sky.

When an eagle sees wolves and hounds fighting, it might think, "Why not fly high and swoop down to slay them? That way, victory is assured."

However, wolves and dogs cannot fly, so how can they fly high and pounce down?

I can neither do it nor even think about it.

In other words, Zhang Wuji overwhelmed them with his superior cultivation level.

It was precisely because of his high level of cultivation and profound skill that he was able to sweep through the six major sects even though he had extremely little combat experience.

This is also why Jiang Sishui has remained so low-key to this day.

Because he lacks internal energy, even though his "Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique" can kill a celestial being with a single strike, others can easily kill him.

Once he inherits Wu Yazi's skills, that will be the time for him to "soar to the sky"!

As Zhao Qiying's cultivation improved and her eyesight became more discerning, she was able to break sword techniques that she couldn't break before, so the two of them engaged in an even more intense battle of sparring.

Suddenly, Zhao Tianhao's booming voice rang out from outside the carriage: "Island Master Huang, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

A carefree voice replied, "Very well, of course. Thank you for your concern, Chief Escort Zhao."

"Is Master Huang heading in this direction to Leigu Mountain?"

“Mr. Congbian sent someone to deliver the invitation, so I went to check out this ‘Zhenlong Chess Gathering’.”

"I see. It is only natural that Master Huang, with his extensive knowledge and talent, would receive such an invitation."

"Is Chief Escort Zhao also going to Leigu Mountain?"

"That's right, but I didn't receive an invitation. I'm an uninvited guest."

"Haha, the world is so vast, did it all start out as belonging to someone else? You can go to Leigu Mountain whenever you want, and leave whenever you want. Why would you need anyone's invitation or permission?"

"Master Huang is truly a hermit."

"Peach Blossom Island is not some paradise, it's just that I don't like to listen to other people's rules and reasoning."

Inside the carriage, Jiang Sishui's heart skipped a beat.

"Island Master Huang? Peach Blossom Island?"

These names are so familiar!

Jiang Sishui couldn't help but reach out and lift the carriage curtain to look outside.

A horse-drawn carriage was seen driving beside Zhao Tianhao, not far from him.

The coachman was none other than a scholar dressed in a blue robe and wearing a square scarf of the same color on his head.

"Huang Yaoshi?"

Although she didn't see the person's face clearly, Jiang Sishui was pretty sure it was him.

"If Huang Yaoshi is a coachman, who would be in the carriage? It couldn't possibly be Rong'er, could it? Rong'er is so lively and active, would she sit obediently in a carriage?"

Jiang Sishui was very skeptical of this.

With a mix of nervousness and excitement, he stared intently at the carriage.

At this moment, as if sensing his gaze, the scholar in blue turned his head.

Jiang Sishui caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye and looked over as well.

The scholar was described as having a lean and refined appearance, elegant demeanor, and a serene and divine air.

It leaves a deep impression at first glance.

There is no other possibility; it is undoubtedly Huang Yaoshi.

Huang Yaoshi glanced at Jiang Sishui and said coldly, "Boy, don't look around like that. Watch your eyes."

Everyone could hear the threat in those words, and both Zhao Tianhao and Zhao Qiying tensed up, becoming secretly on guard.

Jiang Sishui, however, remained completely unfazed and calmly smiled, saying, "The world is so vast, does that mean we shouldn't be allowed to look anywhere from the very beginning?"

"Since we are walking on this wide avenue, everyone can see us."

"I can watch it if I want, and I won't watch it if I don't want to. Why should I follow anyone's rules and reasoning whether I watch it or not?"

After these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

This response was extremely clever and cunning, using Huang Yaoshi's previous words to shut him up, employing his own words against him, and making him end up shooting himself in the foot.

If things go wrong, Huang Yaoshi will lose face big time.

Suddenly, a corner of the curtain opposite was lifted, revealing a beautiful and refined face.

A pair of bright almond-shaped eyes looked over, seemingly aroused by Jiang Sishui's words.

Jiang Sishui's attention never left the carriage, and she looked over immediately.

Upon seeing the woman, he immediately ruled out Huang Rong.

The eyes are the windows to the soul. The woman in the car had a gentle and refined gaze, like a lady from a respectable family, which was quite different from Huang Rong's quirky, lively, and playful temperament.

Therefore, although that woman was beautiful, she could not possibly be Huang Rong.

Moreover, judging from Huang Yaoshi's age, Huang Rong is only a teenage girl, which is clearly inconsistent with the beautiful woman in the carriage.

"The beautiful woman who could make Huang Yaoshi his coachman... Could she be Rong'er's mother, Feng Heng? Is she not dead?" Jiang Sishui's heart stirred.

Hearing Jiang Sishui's sharp response, Zhao Tianhao worried that Huang Yaoshi would be embarrassed and angry, so he tried to persuade him and smooth things over.

Huang Yaoshi burst into laughter first, his voice clear and unrestrained, showing no sign of anger or embarrassment.

Suddenly, the laughter stopped. Huang Yaoshi narrowed his eyes, stared at Jiang Sishui, and said coldly, "Boy, I see you as nothing more than a weak scholar, yet you dare to utter such arrogant words in front of me. Aren't you afraid of being killed by me with one palm?"

Jiang Sishui was not intimidated and asked in return, "Then, senior, would you dare to say those words in front of celestial beings or even demigods?"

"Of course I dare, but I won't." Huang Yaoshi replied without hesitation, without feeling embarrassed at all.

"If the senior dares to do it, then I naturally dare to do it too."

"But I can't."

"If Chief Escort Zhao weren't here, and I were facing you alone, I wouldn't do it either."

Huang Yaoshi was taken aback, glanced at Zhao Tianhao, and understood. He couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

060 Tang Bohu and Ding Chunqiu got into a fight?

"Interesting! Truly interesting! This is the first time I've ever met such an interesting young man!"

Huang Yaoshi laughed for a while, then turned to the woman in the carriage and said, "Aheng, don't you think this kid is much more interesting than Chu?"

Feng Heng replied in a gentle voice, "He's like you, but Liu Xiang is more honest."
